Marxism and New Media Video Files!

Bookending the semester, and better late than never, we’re very happy to report that the Marxism and New Media 2012 video files have now all been uploaded to iTunesU. Unfortunately, due to technical issues and corrupted files, a small number of the talks have been lost, most disappointingly the entire first panel and Kate Hayles’s conference-closing remarks. But you can now find the bulk of the conference at iTunesU. A listing of available talks follows:
